LCG, November 6, 2025--X-energy Reactor Company, LLC, (X-energy) and the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy today announced the start of confirmatory irradiation testing at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to qualify X-energy’s proprietary TRISO-X fuel pebbles for commercial use in the Xe-100 Small Modular Reactor (SMR). (TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic). This is the first time that TRISO-X fuel pebbles will undergo irradiation testing in a U.S. lab, which is a critical step in meeting requirements set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the commercial deployment of advanced reactors that will use the fuel.

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Cape Scott Wind Project Now Operating in British Columbia
LCG, January 23, 2014 -- GDF SUEZ Canada Inc. and joint venture partners Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Fiera Axium Infrastructure Inc. Tuesday announced that the 99-MW Cape Scott Wind Project in British Columbia has commenced commercial operation under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with BC Hydro.
The Cape Scott Wind Farm is located on the Knob Hill Plateau on the northern tip of Vancouver Island and includes 55 Vestas V100 turbines, each with capacity of 1.8 MW. Construction on the project began in the summer of 2011.
The remote project site required the construction of 21 miles of all-new access roads through boggy, forested areas, including the installation of 28 bridges, 67 imbedded culverts and 500 cross-drain culverts. The project also required the installation of 25 miles of transmission lines over rough terrain to the electrical grid with a substation at Port Hardy. The cost of the project is estimated to be CDN $325 million.
The project is the joint venture?s tenth wind installation in Canada and increases their total wind-powered operating capacity to 660 MW in the Canadian Maritimes, Ontario, and British Columbia.
